Posted By TheNewsCommenter: From Twitchy.com: “Donald Trump's response to report about his dinner with Ye and Nick Fuentes raises lots of eyebrows”. Below is an excerpt from the article.
Earlier today, Twitter tongues got to wagging following reports that former President Donald Trump recently sat down and enjoyed a wonderful dinner with Kanye West (or Ye, if ya nasty) and Nick Fuentes, notorious white supremacist antisemitic groyper edgelord troll.
New w @zacharybasu: Trump talks with white nationalist Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago dinner https://t.co/XSCZtUicbj
Former President Trump dined and conversed with white nationalist Nick Fuentes and rapper Ye at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Tuesday night, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
Why it matters: Trump’s direct engagement with a man labeled a “white supremacist” by the Justice Department, one week after declaring his 2024 candidacy, is likely to draw renewed outrage over the former president’s embrace of extremists.
Fuentes, who frequently promotes racist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, had been spotted with Ye at Mar-a-Lago, but reports erroneously suggested he did not have dinner with the former president.

NEW: Statement from fmr President Trump in response to our story about his dinner w Ye and Fuentes: "Kanye West very much wanted to visit Mar-a-Lago. Our dinner meeting was intended to be Kanye and me only, but he arrived with a guest whom I had never met and knew nothing about." https://t.co/RLfWtJTfzQ

Accidentally had dinner with a white supremacist while intentionally having dinner with an antisemite. Oookaaaaay https://t.co/5lzZ1ZW3yM

You don’t just sit down and have dinner with a former president without him knowing who you are. Please spare us the gaslighting.

Don't know how ANYONE can be OK with this. https://t.co/h3KDtNbzlF

Is there no security checking backgrounds at his supper club?
— Yorick (@InfiniteYorick) November 25, 2022
Does he routinely eat dinner at his private club with people he knows nothing about?

Fascinating that nobody would be vetting potential dinner guests for the former President https://t.co/HcshZYvPnO

Access to ex-presidents is tightly regulated and the Secret Service would have needed to clear racist, white nationalist, anti-Semite Nick Fuentes long before he would have been anywhere near Trump. Another obvious lie. https://t.co/1drKQwBdcd

My guess is he is telling the truth. Which once again raises issues of political competence.

I actually completely believe it. In fact, I think Milo and Kanye intentionally set Trump up.
But the fact that he could be set up that easily and has no competent staff speaks volumes. Also, he chose to have dinner w a celeb in the midst of a month-long antisemitic meltdown. https://t.co/LlsSEUL21F

Milo? Or are you talking about Fuentes?
Just need to make sure there isn't another layer to the madness here.

Milo.
He's the one who planned and set the entire thing up from the Kanye side and apparently pushed for Fuentes to come (Jason Miller from trump's side)

It was this tweet before I learned that Milo Yiannopoulos (insert Alec Guinness saying "now that's a name I've not heard in a long time" here) was a key coordinator of this whole affair, along w/Jason Miller.
It's a beautiful syzygy of alt-right crankitude and self-promotion! https://t.co/E5bFwjoXPu

Breitbart eviscerates Trump for the dinner: https://t.co/E0Z2f7WNFG

he's either catering to racists or his team is grossly incompetent and both are bad.

Once again, Trump has an easy opportunity to explicitly condemn the most cartoonish of antisemitic bigots, and once again conveniently fails to do so. He is constitutionally incapable of condemning those who praise him, which in practice means laundering his ugliest sycophants. https://t.co/q3SZuCFhES

No excuse for this crap. He didn’t know? None of his staff knew? If he’s this much of an amateur, he shouldn’t he the nominee in 2024. https://t.co/VUSUN87lKY

We can spend six years (but more realistically, two years) saying “This was just a dumb mistake; he doesn’t actually agree with Nick Fuentes,” which, while true, does literally nothing to help us win.
Or we can nominate someone who doesn’t put us in a position to have to do that https://t.co/1JTvensri4
